AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
I. Background
Taxable payments (or 1099/1042S reportable payments) to Regular (not Employee) Vendors
requires additional set-up at Vendor Entry. It is always best to start with the correct information for a
vendor prior to entering a voucher for payment. Link to UW-System Financial Administration
Personal Services Payments Policies: https://www.wisconsin.edu/financial-administration/financialadministrative-policies-procedures/fppp/31-rev-5-personal-services-payments/
Our policy: “The University of Wisconsin System will report taxable payments to the IRS, Wisconsin
Department of Revenue, and the individual receiving the payment and withhold federal and state
income taxes from payments as required by Federal and State laws. Also, the University of
Wisconsin System will require social security numbers or Individual Tax Identification Numbers
(ITINs) for Nonresident aliens as required by Federal law.”
In general, a taxable payment to a vendor is a payment for a service or work performed, including
parts and materials. We are required by law to obtain a tax identification number for all vendors
prior to making a tax reportable payment. When a vendor submits a service-related invoice, parts
and materials are to be marked as Withholding. Account coding must comply with the rules set by
Accounting Leadership at each campus. It is recommended to use the appropriate account for parts
and services. In SFS, account codes do not determine 1099 reporting; the vendor set-up
determines 1099 reporting.
Exception to the Rule: Payment for Medical Services, account 2630, is reportable for
corporations. An excerpt from the IRS instructions for form 1099-MISC. “The exemption from
issuing Form 1099-MISC to a corporation does not apply to payments for medical or health care
services provided by corporations, including professional corporations. However, you are not
required to report payments made to a tax-exempt hospital or extended care facility or to hospital or
extended care facility owned and operated by the United States (or its possessions), a state, the
District of Columbia, or any of their political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities.”
Medical Services (account 2630) must be coded to Withholding Code 6. Payments to
Corporations are included and must be reported. Services are always reportable, including
supplies, if furnished as part of a service. Regular medical supplies, for example, bandages,
medications, etc, that are consumed by campuses are not reportable unless related to a service.
Query UW_89_1099_ACCT_2630_MD_SVC was created to help campuses monitor these payments.
Periodically review these payments to ensure reporting accuracy and compliance
Payment to Research Subjects, account 2637, is reported as code 3. Identify these payments
through this query UW_89_1099_ACCT_2637_RES_SUB.

II. Type of Payment and Reporting Level
A. Because 1099 and 1042S reporting is consolidated at UW System as one institution, all 1099
and 1042S payments are to be reported by each campus.

Payments of gross proceeds paid to attorneys
(Code 14)

(NRAs only, see Appendix 7)
Payments to NRAs are
reportable as 1042S
The following information is required on potentially reportable payments:
• Legal name
• Permanent home mailing address
• United States Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). This can be a Social Security
Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN) or an Employer
Identification Number (EIN).
Sufficient description about the payment is necessary so the correct classification may be
determined. This information is required for all payments on reportable categories listed above,
regardless of amount. For Vendor categories of Individual/Sole Proprietor, Partnership/LLC,
(whether the campus vendor file classification is used or not). If no social security number or
tax ID is provided, payments may be subject to Backup withholding (see withholding* link for
further definition).
Non-reportable payments (scholarships/fellowships and student loans to UW students) require
social security number for financial aid reporting purposes. If the student does not have a social
security number, student ID number is required. Mailing (Home) address is not required on
these payments.

III. W-9 and Determining TIN Type
Line 1
Line 2
Name on Line 1 is the Withholding Name that must be used to match to the TIN.
Business Name on Line 2 generally must be the name on the vendor file to match invoices and
purchase orders.
Remember to select the correct TIN Type. EIN is F, Social Security Number is S. A mismatch
occurs when the TIN does not match the name or the TIN type is not correct.
Individual/Sole Proprietor is ALWAYS a Social Security Number. It should not be the “Doing
Business As” Name. IRS strongly prefers SSN.
Limited Liability Company – if vendor selects C (Corporation) - not 1099 reportable. If vendor
selects P (Partnership) or D (Disregarded Entity), vendor is 1099 reportable.
LLC (Non-Corporations) may have an EIN or and SSN. We must rely on the vendor to follow IRS instructions.
If the SSN is given, the Withholding Alternate name must be an Individual’s name when the vendor name is a
business name.

IV. How to Enter 1099 Information for a New Vendor
REMEMBER: The PeopleSoft term for 1099 processing is called “Withholding”. This does not imply
that tax is withheld from payments to these vendors.
Navigate to Vendors > Vendor Information > Add/Update > Vendor
Select Add a New Value tab and select ADD
Defaults for vendor entry are shown

Page 5 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
After the Shortname, Name, and Vendor Classification, check the “Withholding” box. This will
enable marking vouchers to the vendor as “withholding”
NOTE: The Id Number field is used for non-withholding vendors’ TINs. For example, Employee and
Corporation (exception - for Medical or Legal Services) would not use Withholding. A Partnership or
Limited Liability Company (LLC) is not necessarily (or usually) a corporation for tax reporting
purposes. Tax reportable payments to Employees and Scholarships (57XX account series) to
Nonresident aliens are appropriately handled through the W-2 or 1042S process – not covered in
this manual.
Vendors classified as Student, Attorney, Partnership/LLC or Individual/Sole Proprietor are entered
as Withholding if a taxable payment is made. Vendors that exclusively supply parts or goods but
never services may be entered without checking the withholding box. This will prevent the
necessity of manually unchecking withholding on every voucher with this vendor and the requisite
manual clean-up when this is not done correctly. Accounting Leadership determines this policy at
each campus.
In the case of a 1099 vendor supplying “vendor value-added” goods, such as printing or customimprinted apparel, we would err on the side of caution and include this as a 1099 record. Since the
goods are enhanced by the vendor, a service has been provided.

Select the Address tab
Enter the payment address and other addresses for the vendor, if applicable. The panel above has
the payment address. Click the plus sign ( ) of the Vendor Address section to add the permanent
address (circled above).

This is an example of an address used for Withholding purposes. Note that this address’s
Description starts with “WITHHOLDING.” Every vendor marked for withholding with multiple
addresses will need to have the withholding address identified. The address does not have to be
labeled “Withholding”. The withholding address is shown on page 12.
THE WITHHOLDING ADDRESS MUST BE SELECTED WHEN ENTERING INFORMATION IN
THE 1099 LINK ON THE LOCATION TAB. WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE ADDRESSES AND
LOCATIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE WITHHOLDING ADDRESS –
WHERE THE 1099 IS TO BE MAILED.

Page 9 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
In the 1099 Information line, enter in the following fields
Entity:
IRS
Type:
1099
Jurisdiction: FED
Check the Default Jurisdiction box
Default Class: Enter in the default Withholding Code. This is usually 07, but may be different
code based on the type of payment. See page 23, Taxable Payment Codes by Account Number
and Withholding Code.
In the 1099 Reporting Information line, enter in the following fields. This is repetitive but
necessary.
Entity: IRS
Address: Enter in the address number if there is more than one. In this instance it is address 2.
TIN Type: Enter in S or F. S is for Social Security Numbers and F is for Federal Employer
Identification Numbers
Taxpayer Identification Number: Enter in the SSN or FEIN.
Withholding Control Name: Enter in the first four letters of the vendor’s name or last name. If
the last name is less than four letters, only enter the last name.
Click OK to go back to the Location panel. DON’T FORGET TO “SAVE” AS USUAL.
REMEMBER - CLICK ON THE 1099 LINK FOR ALL LOCATIONS YOU ADD FOR A
WITHHOLDING VENDOR, ENTER IN THE SAME INFORMATION AS ABOVE. ALWAYS PAY
ATTENTION TO THE WITHHODING ADDRESS SO THAT A 1099 IS ISSUED TO THE
CORRECT ADDRESS.
Final Message - If you forget to enter in the information on any 1099 tab of a Location for a
withholding vendor, this message will appear at Save.

ALWAYS CLICK OK and remember to go back and fill in the missing 1099 information.
V. Maintaining 1099 Information for an Established Vendor
NOTE -TWO TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS SHOULD BE TWO DISTINCT VENDORS.
Frequently, a vendor is identified as 1099 applicable after the vendor has been added to the vendor
file. To change and maintain a 1099 vendor always use a new effective dated panel. Using
effective dated location panels will maintain the audit trail and is the preferred method. Do
not use Correct History. See Appendix 2 for further information. For withholding updates,
use the first day of the calendar year in which the change is effective or a day later than the
last effective dated panel.
In the next example, a vendor is in the system as “John’s Printing”. After receiving the W-9, the
vendor has checked Individual/Sole Proprietor so the classification needs to be changed from
Supplier/Outside Party. The Withholding name should be John Q. Public.
Check the
Withholding
Box
Change vendor classification to Ind/SolPro or
other appropriate classification

Page 11 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Navigate to the vendor. Change vendor classification to Individual/Sole Proprietor or other
appropriate classification and check the Withholding box.
Select Address tab.
This is where to add a new effective dated
panel.
What effective date to use? Use the first day of
the calendar year or the day after the last
effective date.
Use the same naming
convention as used for vendor
name, i.e. Last name, First
name.
At the top right hand corner of the Details pane – select the “+” to add a new effective dated
address panel. To enter a “Withholding Name”, expand the “Payment/Withholding Alt Names fields.
Enter the individual name in the Withholding Name 1 field.
Select the Location tab. At the top right hand corner of the Details pane – click on the “+” to add a
new effective dated location panel.

panel.
What effective date to
use? Use the first day
of the calendar year or

effective date.
Select the “1099” link.
Hint – you can use Customize to select only the mandatory fields.
In the 1099 Information line, enter in the following fields
Entity:

Default Class: Enter in the default Withholding Code. This is usually 07, but may be something
different. See page 23, Taxable Payment Codes by Account Number and Withholding Code.
In the 1099 Reporting Information line, enter in the following fields. This is repetitive but necessary.
Entity: IRS
Address: Enter in the address number if there is more than one. In this instance it is address 1.
TIN Type: Enter in S or F. S is for Social Security Numbers and F is for Federal Employer
Identification Numbers
Taxpayer Identification Number: Enter in the SSN or FEIN.
Withholding Control Name: Enter in the first four letters of the vendor’s name or last name. If
the last name is less than four letters, only enter the last name.
Click OK to go back to the Location panel. REMEMBER - CLICK ON THE 1099 LINK FOR ALL
LOCATIONS YOU ADD FOR A WITHHOLDING VENDOR, ENTER IN THE SAME INFORMATION
AS ABOVE. ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO THE WITHHOLDING ADDRESS SO THAT A 1099
IS ISSUED TO THE CORRECT ADDRESS.
DON’T FORGET TO “SAVE” AS USUAL. ALL PRIOR VOUCHERS AND PURCHASE ORDERS
NEED TO BE REVIEWED. SEE APPENDIX 2.
Enter a Vendor with two types of 1099 classes or codes. Occasionally a vendor will receive two
different types of payments. In these rare cases, add a new class by adding a new line to the 1099
information pane. This vendor can have two classes on voucher entry. As with many other options,
there is only one default that will pull into the voucher. Remember to use effective dating as shown
in previous examples.
New Line added

University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
DON’T FORGET TO “SAVE” AS USUAL. DO NOT MARK MORE THAN ONE LINE AS
DEFAULT. TWO DEFAULT LINES WILL CREATE TWO WITHHOLDING LINES AND IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO FIX THIS SITUATION.
REMEMBER THIS RULE:
DO NOT USE CORRECT HISTORY TO WRITE OVER OR DELETE EXISTING INFORMATION IN
THE VENDOR FILE
VI. 1099 Voucher Entry Transactions
Scenario 1: We have a Payment to Individual Report for vendor number 0000007615 in the
amount of $1,000.00 for Professional Services. Vendor set-up is complete. Navigate to voucher
entry as usual (Accounts Payable, Vouchers, Add/Update, Regular Entry)
Enter funding information, as usual. Note that a withholding link is visible at voucher entry.
This is the link to the withholding information. Click on the link and the
withholding information panel is displayed. Payments to a vendor set up for withholding will
automatically be coded to the default code selected at vendor entry in the 1099 link of the
Location tab.
NOTE: Withholding Link. Look for this link whenever entering a taxable transaction. If this box
does not appear, the vendor has not been set up for Withholding. Route this information back to
Vendor Entry or make the necessary update to the vendor file.
SFS_AP.5.01.02_Entering_and_Maintaining_1099_Vendors_and_Vouchers_FINAL.docx
Page 15 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Notice the “Withholding Applicable” and “Applicable” check boxes. These will flag the
transaction for 1099 processing. As long as the transaction is coded to a taxable account code,
do not make a change to these boxes.
It is extremely important to be sure that BOTH boxes are either checked or unchecked. If
both boxes do not match, there will be reconciliation problems and a manual correction
will be required later.
Be on the lookout for accounts that should have another Class. The code may be changed if the
Class field (Withholding Code) does not match the account – See page 23 for full
account/withholding code crosswalk. To change the Class Code, you will need to select the new
code in the “Withholding Code” field, located to the left of the Withholding Applicable checkbox.
This field overrides the vendor default of the Location Class field.
Note: A vendor must be set-up for each code. If you cannot pull in the correct code to a
voucher, the vendor file must be updated by adding a new line to 1099 options. See page
17.
This link returns to the Voucher Entry Invoice Information panel.
Continue voucher entry, as usual.
Scenario 2: We have a Payment to Individual Report for vendor number 0000007615 in the
amount of $325.36. $300.00 is for Professional Services and $25.36 is a reimbursement for
travel expense. Vendor set-up is complete. Navigate to voucher entry as usual. (Accounts
Payable, Vouchers, Add/Update, Regular Entry).

AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
This is one situation where you will want to enter in 2 for the “Estimated No. of Invoice Lines”.
However, if you forget to enter 2 here, you can add another Invoice line on the following screen.

Invoice
Line(s)
Enter voucher as usual. However, we must separate the taxable portion from the non-taxable
portion. At the “Distribute by” line – enter ONLY the taxable portion. Enter the coding for the
taxable portion. Description is optional but it will assist the Tax Manager in reviewing the
transactions for this voucher.
Click the plus icon (
) if you need to add another invoice line, otherwise click the arrow icon (
) if you want to advance to the next invoice line.
This is a new line. Description is optional but this will assist in reviewing the 1099 processing at
the end of the year.
Enter coding information as usual.

Page 18 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Because this vendor has been set-up as a withholding vendor the non-taxable portion must be
unchecked for the Withholding Applicable checkbox.
Click on the “Withholding” link, circled above. (
)
Remove Check next to Line 2, Travel Reimbursement.

University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Note how the use of the “Description” assists in determining which line should not be flagged as
a taxable transaction.
It is extremely important to be sure that BOTH boxes are either checked or unchecked. If
both boxes do not match, there will be reconciliation problems and a manual correction
will be required later.
The withholding flag has been removed from the non-taxable portion of this payment. If the
taxable and non-taxable portions of a payment are not separated into different invoice lines,
there is not any way to separate the amounts. ALWAYS separate taxable and non-taxable
portions into two separate Invoice Lines. Distribution Lines cannot be individually checked or
not checked for Withholding and the manual adjustment process is tedious.
Click on the “Back to Invoice” link (
) to return to the Invoice Information panel.
Continue Voucher Entry as usual.
Background: Legal settlement payments to a claimant are usually coded to Non-employee
compensation. Proper treatment and reporting of these payments involve keeping up-to-date
SFS_AP.5.01.02_Entering_and_Maintaining_1099_Vendors_and_Vouchers_FINAL.docx
Page 20 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
with latest IRS regulations and are reviewed by UWSA annually. In general, work-related
compensation settlements for employees/former employees are handled through payroll. So be
aware that there are IRS requirements to pay and report compensation settlements through
payroll processing.
When a payment is requested for a legal settlement, each campus must require that the
requester also include tax-reporting details of the settlement and verify that the request should
be appropriately handled though accounts payable.
Punitive damages are not taxable or reportable to the claimant and are appropriately handled
through accounts payable for the claimant. When an attorney is included on the payment for the
claimant, the attorney is reported for the full amount as withholding code 14.
Scenario 1: A legal settlement payment includes both attorney and claimant.
The payment must be coded to Gross Proceeds to an Attorney or Withholding Code 14 and the
Claimant named on a payment along with an Attorney is coded to Non-employee compensation,
or Withholding Code 7, subject to the provisions of the settlement agreement.
Both the attorney and the claimant are to be reported at the full amount of the payment.
As a suggestion, enter the claimant as the vendor on the voucher. PeopleSoft does not have the
capability of using two vendors on a voucher.
The Attorney vendor must be added to the vendor file and the staff performing 1099
maintenance must manually enter the payment information for the attorney vendor. To include
all payees on the check, use “Payment Alternate Name”:
Enter voucher as usual. Manual Entry of the Attorney 1099 record will be required so have a
communication plan in place to transmit this information to the staff performing 1099 clean-up.

University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Scenario 2: Attorney and Claimant are paid individually on separate checks.
The IRS rules state that when separate checks are issued to the claimant and attorney the proper
treatment for reporting is to report the attorney for only the amount of the check payable to the
attorney and the claimant is to be adjusted to report the combined total of the two individual
payments.
For example, a payment to a claimant for $2,000 along with a separate payment to the attorney for
$1,000 would result in 1099 reporting of $1,000 to the attorney and $3,000 (the combined total of
the two payments) to the claimant. In this case, the claimant needs to be adjusted by an additional
$1,000.

Appendix 1 – Limited Liability Company LLC
The LLC is a type of hybrid business structure that is designed to provide the limited liability
features of a corporation and the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership. A
popular choice for sole proprietors who are looking to incorporate simply to protect personal assets
or secure additional loans, the LLC is thought to be one of the easiest and least expensive forms of
ownership to organize. The Limited Liability Company (LLC) is now a recognized business structure
in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. LLCs are gaining popularity with small business
owners because they combine the advantages of a corporation with the tax advantages and
management flexibility of a partnership. In general, this means that an LLC will be reportable for
1099 purposes unless it is also a corporation.
Important Note: An LLC as defined in this write-up is a United States registered LLC. The
distinction needs to be made because other countries have different
requirements for companies, corporation, etcetera that might be less than what
the United States recognizes. Only a United States LLC can be considered an
LLC and treated based on the criteria listed below for United States tax reporting
purposes.
What are the main advantages of forming an LLC?
• Owners of an LLC have limited liability for business debts.
• For tax purposes, the allocation of profit and loss of an LLC need not be proportional to
ownership interests.
• With an LLC, there is no double taxation threat since the LLC is not a separate taxable entity.
• You do not need to be a US citizen to own or invest in an LLC.
Institutional Requirement for Reporting Payments to an LLC
•
•
•
Institutions are required to report payments to an LLC in the same manner as payments made
to an Individual or Sole Proprietor.
All payments to an LLC are reported for tax purposes at the end of each calendar year on a
1099-MISC form for U.S. Tax Residents or on a 1042-S form for NonResident Aliens.
Tax reporting information required for payments made to an LLC are:
1. Full name of the LLC (i.e., XYZ Clothing LLC)
2. Home mailing address for the LLC
3. Employer Identification Number (EIN)
Wisconsin LLC or Corporation status can be verified at the Department of Financial Institutions:

Appendix 2 – Vendor set up as Withholding or not Withholding in Error
Vendors can be set-up as withholding in error or a vendor can incorporate and no longer be
withholding applicable. When an established vendor needs to have a change in the Withholding
status, you must also review past vouchers in the current calendar year and active Purchase
Orders for this vendor in the current fiscal year.
Have a communication plan in place. Correcting an established vendor that requires a withholding
update change, either to set-up withholding or to remove the withholding set-up, will entail
cooperation between Purchasing, Accounts Payable and 1099 processing staff. Always use
effective dated panels to update vendors rather than correction mode as described in
section: Maintaining 1099 information for an Established Vendor
Purchase orders entered for a vendor that is Withholding will be automatically marked for
withholding. Changing the vendor to non-withholding will not correct purchase orders. Purchase
Orders retain the Withholding status effective when the PO is created and must be manually
updated. Additionally, copied purchase orders will also copy the withholding status. Copied POs
can be monitored for correct withholding status through the queries listed below.
A. Purchase Orders – When the vendor withholding status does not match the
withholding on the PO
This creates vendor/voucher mismatches.
Query UW_89_LSN_PO_NT_WH_VNDR_WH returns a list of POs and associated vouchers for vendors
marked withholding but the PO lines are not marked for withholding. Copied POs retain the
withholding status of the PO it is copied from. In other words, there can be issues with copied POs
when the vendor has changed from withholding or not withholding. Voucher lines may be marked
withholding or not marked withholding. PO description and voucher description are included in this
query.
Query UW_89_LSN_PO_NT_WH_VNDR returns a list of POs and associated vouchers for a vendor
marked withholding. Copied POs retain the withholding status of the PO it is copied from. In other
words, there can be issues with copied POs when the vendor has changed from withholding or not
withholding. Voucher lines may be marked withholding or not marked withholding. PO description
and voucher description are included in this query.
If a vendor has been not marked for withholding but should be withholding, POs must be updated to
Withholding.
Run these queries periodically to avoid last minute corrections, the following illustrates how to
correct the POs.
To correct a Purchase Order that is set to withholding for a non-withholding vendor:

AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
This is where the Withholding check will default into a PO to a vendor marked for Withholding. All
vouchers associated with the PO will continue to be “Withholding Applicable” and require additional
work at voucher entry to “uncheck” withholding.
Uncheck the Withholding box. Scroll down and Click the OK button. This will return you to the PO
Panel. Remember to SAVE. A change order is not necessary.
To correct a Voucher that is set to withholding for a non-withholding vendor:
For vouchers that need correction, the staff working with 1099 Maintenance need to be notified to
make the appropriate changes. Adjusting withholding is discussed in the Non-PO Voucher Entry
and PO Voucher Entry Business Process Documents. Or withholding errors can be fixed during
regular 1099 maintenance; each campus should decide what is appropriate. Ensuring the correct
vendor information is contained in effective dated panels is a best business practice.

Note here that only the second Withholding applicable box is checked. This will be an error on 1099
maintenance. Both boxes must be checked or unchecked – otherwise a manual correction will be
necessary.
Voucher Withholding after PO has been updated.
Updating Voucher Withholding is described in the Non-PO Voucher Entry and the PO Voucher
Entry Business Process Documents.
IX. Appendix 3 – Vendor with Incorrect Withholding Code
A vendor may be set up with the wrong withholding code. As in the case of a vendor with two
withholding codes shown on page 14, it is important to correct this error in vendor setup in the right
way.
Do not write over the old code in correction mode. This causes other complications when the
vouchers have to be fixed, instead, add a line as shown and change the new code to the default
code.
Do not use correction mode to add the new code. Insert a new effective dated Details line under
location.
SFS_AP.5.01.02_Entering_and_Maintaining_1099_Vendors_and_Vouchers_FINAL.docx
Page 28 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Add a line by
clicking on the
“+” sign.
After adding the new withholding code, be sure to change the default to the correct code. Why is
this important? Correcting the withholding code requires that both codes be active. If the old
withholding code is overwritten, the voucher lines to the old code can not be easily fixed.
When an incorrect withholding code is discovered, update the vendor, analyze the PO’s and
vouchers already processed and make 1099 adjustments. Have a coordination plan in place.
DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN ONE DEFAULT WITHHOLDING CODE PER VENDOR. THIS WILL
CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR 1099 PROCESSING.
X. Appendix 4 – 1099 Implications – Interpretation and Definition of Non-Resident
Entertainer
Entertainers and Entertainment Corporations Not Wisconsin Residents - 1099 Implications
NOTE: All Non-resident Entertainers are subject to State of Wisconsin Entertainer Tax.
Agents, regardless of the state of residence or corporate status, are required to furnish all
information for a Form WT-11 for the Entertainer. State of Wisconsin resident entertainers
follow the same rules as other vendors, i.e., non-corporations are marked withholding, but
entertainer tax does not apply.
Non-Resident Entertainer Tax for a non-U.S. resident – If the Non-US Resident Entertainer
country of residence has a tax treaty with the United States and the income is exempt for federal
income tax purposes, the income is also exempt for Wisconsin entertainer tax purposes. Link to IRS

Publication 901, see tables 2 and 3 for lists of tax treaty countries: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irspdf/p901.pdf.
Non-Resident Entertainers that are corporations, and paid directly, are not issued a 1099 to
the corporation even when state entertainer tax is withheld.
To summarize,
1. Non-resident individuals and non-resident corporations are all subject to the State of
Wisconsin Entertainer tax.
2. Earnings over the cumulative limit of $7,000 per calendar year are subject to the 6% state
withholding tax or a surety bond is required.
3. A WT-11 in the legal name of the entertainer is required, even when payment is made
directly to an Agency. This includes Social Security Number.
4. The 6% withholding tax is made according to the WT-11.
5. 1099 reporting is necessary when the 1099 rules apply to the payment, i.e., refer to
section on 1099 reporting.
Examples of nonresident entertainers include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The owner (sole proprietor) of a group of individuals who travel from one engagement to the
next.
The individual members of an entertainment group, none of which legally own the group.
An individual entertainer or public speaker who performs at or competes in one or more
entertainment, public speaking, or sporting events in Wisconsin.
A partnership comprised of corporate and/or individual partners which contracts for one or more
appearances of the partners in Wisconsin.
An agent, manager, promoter, or other sponsor who negotiates or otherwise arranges for the
appearance of one or more performers, competitors, or speakers for an entertainment event in

promotional, or other services at that event.
A foreign corporation which contracts for one or more entertainment, public speaking or sporting
events in Wisconsin.
A foreign corporation whose employees appear in one or more entertainment, public speaking
or sporting events in Wisconsin.

2.
3.
4.
A dance or theatre troupe performs at a campus location.

Link to State of Wisconsin Form WT-11 Nonresident Entertainer’s Application AND receipt for
Surety Bond, Cash Deposit or Withholding by Employer: http://www.revenue.wi.gov/forms/with/w011f.pdf. There are special reporting and voucher Entry for a Non-resident Entertainer when
payment is sent to an Agent or Agency.
The State of Wisconsin has specified that when a payment to a non-resident entertainer is made to
an Agent or Agency, 100% the payment must be associated to the Agent and the Entertainer is
associated to the Entertainer tax deduction via the WT-11 and payment submitted for entertainer
tax.
.
How to handle non-resident entertainer paid through an agency:
Invoicing vendor = Agent. Entertainer is not required to be set-up as a separate vendor but
the Entertainer must fill out the WT-11 when contract (or accumulated payments for a
calendar year) exceeds $7,000.
Split the payment:
1st Remit to vendor = Agency. Agent of Entertainer set up as a separate vendor
2nd Remit to vendor = WI Dept of Revenue for 6% state tax, if applicable
See Page 40
Issuing 1099s to Agents/Agencies
According to 1099 instructions from the IRS general instructions for form 1099 when payments are
made to an Agent or Agency. These entities are defined as Nominee/Middleman.

Page 31 of 51
University of Wisconsin System-SFS Business Process
AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Instructions to the Nominee/middleman for 1099s received. Generally, if you receive a Form
1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person, you are considered a nominee recipient.
You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received) for each of the
other owners showing the amounts allocable to each. You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of
the other owners. File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 with the Internal Revenue Service
Center for your area. On each new Form 1099, list yourself as the “payer” and the other owner as
the “recipient.” On Form 1096, list yourself as the “filer.” A husband or wife is not required to file a
nominee return to show amounts owned by the other. The nominee, not the original payer, is
responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.
In other words, if an Agent or Agency is paid for Entertainment services (inclusive of Total
Contract Price) on behalf of an Entertainer, the status of the Entertainer determines if a 1099
is issued to the entertainer.

XII. Appendix 6 - Withholding, Tax Levies, Entertainer Tax, 1042 and Creating a
Voucher with Split Payments for Withholding
In the case of a Tax Levy or State or Federal Withholding, splitting the payment between the vendor
and the tax entity can be handled on one voucher. The following rules apply to each situation.
Campus should have a DOR vendor, IRS vendor and a UWSA vendor for tax levies.
Type of
Withholding

Non-Resident
Entertainer
Tax
Pay to and
send tax W/H check and/or
forms to
Payable to and send check
to
WI DOR with a completed
WT-11. (Do not send a copy
to UWSA.)
Additional Information
Institutions must withhold 6% of payments based on
the total contract price to nonresident entertainers if
accumulated payments for entertainment services
exceed $7,000 in a calendar year and the entertainer
has not filed WT-11 with a surety bond or cash
deposit, or provided a waiver from the Department of
Revenue. Exceptions: Total contract price does not
include:
•
•
Amounts paid by the employer to persons other
than the entertainer for ordinary and necessary
expenses in the production of the event (building
rent, staging material costs, utility connections,
etc.), unless a specific dollar amount is specified
in the contract for such expenses.
Payments for travel expenses made to, or on
behalf of, an entertainer that are 1) made under
an accountable plan and 2) for actual
transportation, lodging, and meals that are directly
related to the performance.
Each institution must institute a procedure for
accumulating payments to nonresident entertainers to
determine if the $7,000 limit has been reached.
However, it is the responsibility of the nonresident
entertainer or their representative to notify the UW if
their accumulative total contract prices during a
calendar year exceed the threshold at any UW
System institution.
The 6% withholding must be sent to the Department
of Revenue with a completed WT-11 and a copy of
the WT-11 must also be sent to UW-System. Payees
must be marked withholding, unless a
corporation, and we must issue a 1099-MISC,
according to the status of the payee. The WT-11
and instructions are located at:
http://www.revenue.wi.gov/forms/with/w-011f.pdf.

Additional Information
UW-System receives IRS Tax Levies and posts a list
of names to a secure file. Campuses must review the
list of IRS tax levies weekly. When a campus
determines that an individual or company in the levy
list is on their vendor file, mark the vendor “Hold for
Payment” and immediately contact UW-System. UWSystem will contact the IRS to verify that the levy is
still active. UW-System will, in turn, notify the campus.
The campus will then withhold all future payments to
the vendor until notice of release of the tax levy is
received or verified with the IRS or take the vendor off
withhold for payment if the levy is no longer in force.
UW System Administration manages all payments to
the IRS. Be sure to include vendor information. All
Vendors must be marked withholding and we
must issue a 1099-MISC. IRS Link:

has the UW Backup Withholding (28%) for Payments
to U.S. Tax Residents procedures under the section
on Federal Tax Withholding. This Tax Information
web page has more easily understood specific
information for campus users.
UW System Administration manages all payments to
the IRS. Be sure to include vendor information when
sending a payment for taxes. Make check payable to
UW-System. Send the 1042S worksheet and the
check for NRA tax deduction to UW-Madison Tax
Program Manager (Jose Carus), 21 N Park, Rm 6234,
Madison, WI 53715. Follow instructions on the Tax
Information web page at:

l. This flowchart will guide you through (1) what
documentation is required for payments to NRA’s, (2)
what taxes are applicable if no tax treaties exist
between the U.S. and the NRA’s country of residence
for tax purposes, and (3) if a tax treaty exists then
what forms are required to take advantage of the tax
treaty.
UW System must report all payments made to NRA’s.

1042S – Special Reporting Requirements and Monitoring
Campuses must keep track of payments made to NRA’s so that at the end of the tax reporting year
these payment can be marked as 1042-S reportable on the 1099 Tax Table. After each campus
certifies the 1099 transactions, tax reportable data is downloaded from SFS to the 1099 Tax Tables
for IRS reporting. The campus tracking process must keep track of the individual’s information
(Name, home mailing address, type of payment, account code, amount) plus all the information
required for 1042-S reporting. This includes the type of income (Independent Personal Service,
Scholarships, Royalties, etc.), person’s country of tax residence, type of tax payer (individual,
entertainer, etc.), tax rate or exemption code, and taxes withheld, if any.
After UWSA loads the records from SFS to the 1099 Tax Tables, campuses are responsible for
updating 1099-MISC transactions to 1042S reportable on the 1099 Tax Tables. UWSA sends each
campus a notification e-mail after the records are loaded along with links to the instructions for
updating 1099 and 1042S records. The 1042S indicator is also used to enter state tax withheld.
How to classify a vendor as Foreign Non-Supplier (Optional - This is not required)
Classifying NRAs as “Foreign Non-supplier” under vendor type options (Located under Location,
Payables, Vendor Type Options) is a convenient place to identify NRA vendors.

Using the split payment process - How to create a voucher with split payments
This vendor is the Invoicing vendor. 1099 withholding status of the payment and
reporting is determined by this vendor set-up. 1099 payments are reported for the
invoicing vendor not the remit to vendor. If the payment is issued to an Agency/Agent –
the invoicing vendor is the Agent/Agency. Entertainers not paid directly are not required
to be in the vendor file, however, a WT-11 in the entertainer legal name is required.
Create Voucher. Click on Payments tab, before or after save. Amount of voucher is for
demonstration purposes only.

For this example – the vendor must have 6% withheld for State of WI Entertainer Tax. Dollar
amount is for testing purposes only. Refer to documentation on Entertainer Tax for applicable rules.
Reminder: If the paid entity (entertainer, agent or agency) is a corporation no 1099 reporting
is required. Non-Resident Entertainer Vendors must be marked withholding and we must
issue a 1099-MISC, even if no entertainer tax is withheld. The form WT-11 and instructions
are located at: http://www.revenue.wi.gov/forms/with/w-011f.pdf.
How to handle non-resident entertainer paid through an agency:
Invoicing vendor = Agency/Agent set up as a separate vendor
1st Remit to vendor = Agency/Agent
2nd Remit to vendor = WI Dept of Revenue for 6% state tax withholding, if applicable
The Entertainer is not required to be set-up as a vendor unless we make a payment directly
to the entertainer.

AP.5.01.02– Entering and Maintaining 1099 Vendors and Vouchers
Recommended to use
separate payment for all
withheld portions.
Change remit to vendor for the tax withheld to the appropriate vendor. NOTE: The search function
at “Remit to” is limited, so the vendor for the withholding portion needs to be looked up in another
manner. Since there should only be two vendors receiving withholding portions, this is not a
problem.
The second payment panel can be changed for handling code, scheduled due date, payment
message and even selected for separate or hold payment. Depending on the preference of the
campus – a separate or combined payment can be accommodated by vendor set-up. It is
recommended to handle withholding portions as separate payments so that withholding is not
combined but you will need to check the total reported so the amount paid to the entertainer is fully
declared on the 1099.

Final Processing:
Do not forget - 1099 record will still require a manual update for the amount withheld at yearend.
1042S records must be updated after the 1099 records are loaded to the 1099 tables.
State tax withheld for Non-resident Entertainers is not reported on a 1099.
Useful Tools
Query: UW_89_RMT_VNDR_NT_INV_VNDR
This query returns a list of payments to remit vendors that are not the invoicing vendor when the
voucher gross total is greater than the payment, i.e., when split payments exist. There is a prompt
for Business Unit and greater than Payment Date.
Monitoring specific withholding instances is much easier using the split payment method of voucher
entry.
Query: UW_89_SPLT_PYMNT_VCHR
This query will return all vouchers where the Gross Voucher amount is greater than the payment.

Appendix 7 - 57XX Accounts paid to Nonresident Aliens

must be used to calculate the amounts to be reported and withheld.
Link to the current forms: Payment for Scholarships, Fellowships, Participant Support (Class
57XX).
Follow instructions for all payments from 57XX accounts made to Nonresident aliens.

The IRS increases the personal withholding exemption rate from year to year ($3,900 for 2013),
resulting in an increase in the daily prorated exemption amount used for calculating withholding on
payments to Nonresident aliens ($10.68 per day for 2013). Look under “Sample NRA Documents
and Completed PIR Documentation” for examples:
http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/acct/policy/tax/taxpro.html.
Please pass on this information to the appropriate individuals as you deem necessary, and instruct
them to begin using the new exemption amount for payments.

Appendix 8 - Vendor with Withholding Alternate Name
Withholding names: When a withholding name is entered for a vendor it must be different from the vendor name AND the name must follow
vendor naming conventions. For individuals this means the format is last name, first name. The address that has the withholding alternate
name MUST be the 1099 default (reporting) address, otherwise, the withholding alternate name will not be selected.
This is where to add a Withholding
Name if different from the vendor
name.
Click on Address tab and the click on
Payment/Withholding Alt Names.
Use the same naming
convention as used
for vendor name, i.e.
Last name, First
name.
Use Query: UW_1099_VNDR_WTHD_NAME_CK
This query returns a list of vendors with information in Withholding Name 1. When the 1099 transactions are printed, Withholding Name 1 and
Withholding Name 2 will be printed on the 1099. If a vendor has more than one address, you may get more than one line per vendor. It is
important to review this list and look for any anomalies.
For example,
•
An individual name must be associated to any tax identification number that is flagged “S” or a social security number. FEINs can be
associated to a business name or an individual.
•
Names of individuals in Withholding Name 1 or 2 must follow the naming convention of last name, first name.
•
Fixing the vendor file before January 1, 2011 will help to avoid last-minute corrections.

•
Acronyms must be spelled out according to the W9 in the Withholding Alternate name – For example – IRS in the vendor file would
be Internal Revenue Service as withholding alternate name.
1099 print names are determined by presence of Withholding Name1 and Withholding
Name2. Otherwise, Vendor Name1 and Name2 are printed on the 1099.
